THERE is a movement afoot now by the
business men of Grand Rapids, Mich, to
make that place lake port by dredging
the river to a depth of 10 feet. When it
is remembered that Grand Rapids is a
distance of 33 miles from the rivers mouth
the magnitude of the work can be esti-
mated. But the government Will be call
ed upon to do the work. The business
interests of Grand Rapids demand water
shipments since the passage of the inter

SoQUET of Green Bay has been found
guilty of murder in the first degree. 1t
seems strange that man should be con-
victed of murder fourteen years after the
commission of the crime and then very
largely on circumstantial evidence. But
every one is satisfied of Soquet's guilt
and are morally certain that he is guilty
of two other murders. He must be a
monster, with as little regard for human
life as the butcher has for the animals he
kills.

TARBELL, the Walworth county man
who had reported that some person had
shot himself and wife, has confessed that
he did the shooting himself. His wife
did not die as he expected she would. At
least she has become sufficiently conscious
to charge him with having fired the shot.
This led him to confess. Jealousy was
the cause of the attempted murder.

The tories were placed in most en-
barrassing position lately in their action
upon the charge made against the Irish
members by The London Times. One of
the tories moved that the matter be inves-
tigated. The Irish members agreed and
asked that the investigation proceed i'm
mediately. This the tories did not want
and they sought to gain time by adjourn
ing. On meeting they decided not to
have the matter investigated and they are
now the laughing stock of the English
nation

THE republican press of the west seems
to be unit in opposition to The Chicago
Tribune. And yet The Tribune, barring
its support of Jim Blaine, is one of the
most dignified and independent of west
ern journals. 1t gives the impression
that it is not owned by corporate wealth,
a pretty good recommendation in this era
of money worship.

The Irish National League of this
country has been investigating the alleg-
ed letter of Parneu published in The
London Times and the result is that the
guilty party is pretty clearly indicated.
A man named Pigott, proprietor of The
Dublin Irishman, tried to blackmal the
League some years ago. He claimed to
have been furnished with some docu-
ments rejecting on the League which he
had been offered 500 shillings to publish.
He agreed to refuse to publish these if
the League would pay him 300 shillings
A committee consisting of the state Off
GERS of Nebraska and several business
men of Lincoln compared Pigott's letters
with the fac-imile published in The Lon
don Zines and state unhesitatingly that
the Pigott Letters and that published in
The Times and ascribed to Parnell, were
written by the same person.

THE quality of Virginia tobacco is con-
stantly retrograding. The chief tobacco
growing state now so far as quality is
considered is Wisconsin, state in which
it was thought at the time Virginia bore
the palm, tobacco could not be raised at
all. The excellent quality of Wisconsin
tobacco is no doubt due more to care In
cultivation and in curing than to climate.

THE late legislature has been abused a
great deal for what it did and for what it

much. There is danger in it as he may
find unless he quits being SO murderous
